The Slot Editor
The Apply and Revert Buttons
Think of the editor window as an interim work area. Whatever you enter there is temporary until you take the further step of writing it to the slot--which you do by clicking the Apply button. You can go edit another slot or work in another part of the project; the slot you were working on will remain unchanged if you do not hit the Apply button. If you have "Auto Apply" selected in the Settings dialog, then changes in the editor window are automatically applied whenever you build or otherwise leave that editor window.
Hitting the Revert button lets you change your mind about a proposed change--the contents of the slot editor window are removed and the slot's original value is redisplayed. You can no longer revert once you have clicked Apply; the Apply button takes a change you have entered and writes that to the slot.
